WHAT WAS THAT.
okay i understand the historical context. márquez greatly does his job in describing it.
and yes. this book is truly disturbing.i was completely shocked by the plot. R*pe of a 12 y.o. girl by a 30-something y.o. man? absolutely disgusting even with historical context. and the death of this poor child… . BUT every well-written disturbing book has the reason to be that disturbing. here… religious bigotry, yes. but what about that?
this book didn‘t give me enough explanations (yes, you can call me dummy, but they were truly needed here) to really form something in my head. i just felt uneasy and really bad for this little girl. that‘s it…
